Free online slots
Well, this is a happy coincidence. Both of us looking for somewhere to play free online slots. Me? Why am I here? Up to a month ago, you’d never have found me online. I spent most of my spare time down at my local casino. There’s something about the atmosphere of a casino. I suppose it’s all about the willing suspension of disbelief. We all go in there thinking this is our day. We’ll pick just the right machine and, within the first hour (the machine never wants to look too eager), it pays out the jackpot.
And while we’re waiting to hit it big?
Well, look around. It’s a beautiful place, full of interesting people to meet and talk with. After a while, you’re one of the regulars — if you want to be, that is. Some make it very clear up front that they’re not the sociable kind. They’re the ones that lurk in the darkest recesses of the cascades — the vampires of the slots — preying for that big win in solitary concentration.
But all good things come to an end. We all gotta earn a living so, when my boss tells me about the transfer, it’s like the end of the world wrapped up in my financial salvation. It’s a big raise but like I’m moving to a place that don’t got no casino. There are such places? It’s incredible, I know. But, with that unerring skill known only to non-gamblers, he picked a place with no live gambling.
So, now I’m prowling the online casinos looking at casino slots, often playing the free online slots to try out the action. I miss the noise, that buzz when you walk through the doors. It makes an occasion of the activity. Sitting in front of the PC is a bit tame. You can’t walk around, nod at the dealers and the other casino staff you recognize. No bar to have a consolation drink with the other regulars when reality finally overcomes that suspension of disbelief. If it wasn’t for the slots themselves, I wouldn’t be here. But there’s something fascinating about playing slots online. Strip away all the distractions, this is naked slot action. It’s a pure form of gambling. Just you and the machine. Direct. One on one.
